Which of the following pairs of landforms can be found in the desert areas?

  1. Yardangs and batholiths
  2. Sauddoars and tombolos
  3. Zeugens and rock pedestals ✓
  4. Barchans and tombolos
Explanation

Zeugen and rock pedestals are shaped by wind abrasion in deserts. Zeugen are ridges of hard rock left standing. Rock pedestals are rocks worn narrow at the base by blown sand.

Tombolos are coastal features and batholiths are large igneous masses, so the other pairs do not fit.
